  1. [R5] World of Tanks Blitz™ 5/5 · US Goat game: Played since I was a little kid and I always end up coming back highly recommend
  2. [R11] World of Tanks Blitz™ 5/5 · US Good tank game: I really enjoy this game I recommend downloading if you really love tanks
  3. [R14] World of Tanks Blitz™ 5/5 · US I is great: The only thing is maybe fix the smasher it ruins my game
  4. [R21] World of Tanks Blitz™ 3/5 · US New total domination game mode: The newly added game mode called total domination is really a fun mode to play. I can’t go 5 stars on the game overall though. Sadly this is due solely to greed of the owners. You can no longer afford to collect all the tanks that drop unless you’re just filthy rich. One other issue would be that for most collector tanks you must gamble on crates. A terrible way to
  5. [R4] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US BS game. Money grabbing. Load time is averaging 15 minutes. Mostly bots or hacks: This game averages 10-15 minutes to load a game. And you can’t leave the screen to check another app or it starts you over. Never been in a battle where I was not the lowest tier. Never been in a battle that we were not always behind (first death is always on my team putting us behind.). Mostly bots which makes the l
  6. [R16] World of Tanks Blitz™ 2/5 · US Too Many AFKs!!!: Almost every game you’ll see afks…it’s becoming a common occurrence. A once enjoyable game is getting filled with bots and afks.
  7. [R22] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Very bad: Permanently low game level. When starting a battle, it constantly begins loading and never finishes. When re-entering the game, it turns out the battle has already started. Until you fix this nonsense, teams will be full of AFK players. · translated
  8. [R31] World of Tanks Blitz™ 2/5 · US RNG, LAG, AFK, PC: Be prepared for skewed RNG, matchmaking with constant afk players, zero damage teammates and random lag when performing actions even with good ping. In the last few months it’s been an uphill battle. These are stacked against you while the enemy are favored by RNG. RNG needs to be toned down or removed. Makes this game a chore to play which makes it not enjoyable. Ruins this gam
  9. [R6] World of Tanks Blitz™ 3/5 · US Unbalanced: Bots are broken in this game
  10. [R10] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Rigged junk: Don’t even bother with this game. It’s rigged. Not PvP. Every battle is a slaughter. If they decide they don’t like you, you won’t do well. It’s like the company is run by 5 year old kids. If you do play, don’t spend any money in game. Nothing in this game is worth a nickel of your money.
  11. [R12] World of Tanks Blitz™ 3/5 · US The uptiers: Always getting uptiers, especially when your in tier 6, and waiting for the circle to shrink for the KV-2 and KV-1S takes a long time, impossible to immediately shoot enemy players as soon as they are spotted and the other tanks can. Other than that the game is good.
  12. [R13] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Don't let the ratings fool you - not what it used to be.: Don't play this game unless you like lopsided P2W. Don't play this game unless you like dishonest game companies. Don't play this game unless you like support that ignores player tickets. Don't play this game unless you like unpopular changes shoved down your throat. Don't play this game unless you like incompetent devs who don't even play
  13. [R1] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Rodney Poe: I lost my account that I had for over 11 years I had lots of tanks and a legend they could only tell me that no player by that name was found
  14. [R19] World of Tanks Blitz™ 1/5 · US Rigged: I haven’t been able to contact support in over two years. They don’t listen to people who play. They ignore the issues. This is no way to run a business. Avoid this game for that reason.
  15. [R29] World of Tanks Blitz™ 4/5 · US I can now login with Game Center account on this App, yet I see myself logged in wargaming’s website: I used to login quickly using my Game Center account, and now, every attempt that’s been made to login, I just get a message saying ’connecting’. Now after entering my email address, thankfully my progress has not been erased, and I can still play
  16. [R81] World War Heroes 3/5 · US Would be better: This game would be all right if it had control or support I hate having to swipe the screen and then it don’t move right it’s slow. It’s just not for me. Maybe if it had controller support. I just can’t get into it. I like playing with controller. I guess it’s back to Call of Duty® mobile🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️
  17. [R108] World War Heroes 3/5 · GB Fun game, but needs controller support: As the title says; although it’s a fun game to play, there is no controller support which I find VERY frustrating. I get quite sweaty hands when gaming, meaning using a touchscreen is almost impossible and I need an external controller to make it viable. There is no excuse for no controller support in 2025, every app has it. Even my GTA 3 app from 2011 works
  18. [R88] World War Heroes 1/5 · US Beware! Don’t upgrade!: I’ve been playing this game for a long time and was level 50+ and built a significant arsenal. Then I upgraded and lost everything. Player profile is different, I’m now level 12, and have none of my gear. This needs to get fixed ASAP!
  19. [R91] World War Heroes 1/5 · US Updated restarted the game and took away everything that was purchased: The game is a scam
  20. [R97] World War Heroes 1/5 · US My account is gone: Hello! After the game update, my main account with my level 28 in the game disappeared! Now, after the update, I am level 1. This won't do. How can I get my main account back? · translated
  21. [R100] World War Heroes 1/5 · US Update Problems!: The new update killed the game, killed my profile connection, and utterly ruined the game. I’ve been a fan for a long time, was at level 50, now with the update back to level 1 and I lost everything I’d paid for!!!! Fix the problems!!!
